I don't care how many glitches there are in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, I was enthralled by the story progression, especially with the depth and personalities of the characters. Nemona, using the starter weak against the players on purpose, to see if we can match and surpass her in battle prowess. Arven, and his reasons behind his sour attitude at first, being his Mabosstiff being injured by ancient/future Pokemon, and how he didn't see his parents, the professors, in 10 years. Penny, and all of Team Star, and how they consider their friendship as their greatest treasure, and their desire to fight back against their bullies in fheir flashbacks. This has got to be on par with Gen 4 and 5 in terms of lore and story, and I love it, an 10 out of 10 for me!

[@Ditto.007]

Arven is the type of character I want in GameFreak he was so unpredictable that our thoughts about him constantly changed rather than most older characters who were very one dimensional.

23:08 It may not be a shiny, but at least you caught something that shouldn't exist, a T-Pose Pokemon

[@MarbleSodaPop]

I was playing Violet while listening to this video in the background and I found a random shiny Houndour during a point in the video where he was talking about not getting any shinies yet

[@rigobertosaucedo8087]

This video is gold 😂🔥

[@SmolivYEAH]

“Pokémon continues the trend of your mom being hot” killed me 💀

[@marysmile1603]

Mikey slowly turning into Volo over the course of the video was both terrifying and hilarious.

[@TheUltimatePotatoSmashers]

I can completely relate to not getting shinies early game. I got my first shiny after beating the game, being a full-odds shiny Chaney. I soon got full-odds shiny iron bundle and shiny lechonk though.

"the descent felt like a descent into something horrifying!" "OHHH LOOK AT ME, I'M A SURFER!!"

[@KingPlatypus1325]

Mikey's villain monologue is the perfect climax.

[@GlitchmasterStudios]

It's okay, Mikey, my Sprigatito was shiny in the cutscene + walk to Nemona's house (but since theyre shiny locked and generated when you actually select them, I lost him.) I had to hatch like 500 eggs for it back

[@rayquarizard2911]

That… sucks. That really sucks 💀

[@kaede_matsu]

I’m… so sorry 😭

[@Rubywing4]

Wait, what? Can they do that?

[@koolkittykat04]

Have not heard of this happening.

[@Rob-hb7wh]

Damn, bro. That seriously sucks

[@elizabethferrington9828]

Me watching Mikey have an entire villain arc: MESS EM UP MIKEY THE SHINY GODS HAVE FORSAKEN YOU!

[@blitzwolftribal6479]

I'm glad you got your Charcadet to evovle early. I didnt find out how to evolve it until it was already lvl 60 because I decided to be lazy and not check the internet. Only good thing was that I have beaten up more than enough Bronzor and Bronzong so I could easily just get the item. I had also found a shiny Hawlucha pretty early but it wouldnt listen to me because at that time I only had 3 badges and I had found it in the North Province (Area One) so It was at lvl 50. I spent a lot of time fighting pokemon and exploring instead of the main stories because I enjoy open-world games for the exploration but as a result had super overlvled pokemon.

[@zelos1826]

I liked Arven before his story... but the gut punch of feels made me absolutely LOVE him... especially since I own a dog myself.

[@jerryjohn7982]

There used to be a bot here I reported it

[@noahwhite7268]

His story reminded me of my deceased puppy cookie. She was poisoned by a snake and before I knew that, I blamed myself for her death. This just hit me to close to home.

[@sebastianb.3978]

0:26 I feel your pain Mikey. I just got my Switch and Violet last week, and after seeing Ceruledge while chatting with a friend I knew it would be my fire type this run.^^

[@jackpayne8440]

We got both at same time lol

[@patriziamohr7202]

I feel the shiny pain. I got my first one only after 63 hours in the game, story fully done and almost being done with my pokedex

[@skyeplaysgames4598]

I finished the full dex and full story, then spent 7 3-star shiny + encounter boost sandwiches to get an Iron Valiant. Their name is Jake and they are my False Swiper now

[@iscremintothevoid]

23:55 "Happy birthday Michael!" He took this seriously alright

[@netweed09]

Simply put; this is the most fun and actual _Adventuring_ I've had in a Pokémon game since gen3. It's amazing We can get to hear stories like yours and others - and they're all virtually unique in their little or large way. I'll never forget the thrill of catching 2 Lv40 Pokémon on my way to Alfornada doing a massive trek via a precarious cliff path; all with 0 Gym badges!

[@TheMaskedWeeb-eo6qn]

I just love how mikey goes crazier every day to the point of becoming a frickin' villain

[@AuroraLaForge-dz7ml]

24:43 you good mikey? MIKEY? Do I need to call the authorities?

[@Apples9327]

"What is a god to a non believer". Mikey, just that much more dangerous...

[@yaelmendez6996]

21:09 Who else was thinking,” A foolish Miscalculation!”😂

[@joesephyouseff5497]

Me lol

[@jonathanflanagan1504]

It's interesting that the movement upgrades you get are based on which herba mystica you find, not the order of when you find them, meaning that defeating the False Dragon Titan always gives you climbing, defeating the Open Sky Titan always gives you swimming, and so-on.

[@MaxGaborski]

wait what

[@Bozoboy420]

@@MaxGaborskiyeah so false dragon as said above is climbing and clawf is running faster

[@nucleonegro9762]

And the paradox titan donphant gives you gliding

[@yoItzTonii]

This shows how much Mand tests the gods.
